In a campaign commercial released today, the Iowa Republican, who turns 77 this week, touts his technological prowess following a clip of two concerned older women speaking in hushed tones because they (mistakenly?) think the social media tool is a disease.

"I'll tweet, I'll text, I'll do whatever it takes." Grassley says in a voiceover. "I'll work for you."

Grassley plays up his use of twitter as just another way he is able to connect with his constituents. Just this weekend, the 30-year senator and Hawkeye alum live-tweeted a football game between his alma mater Iowa and Iowa State.
